Inspired by her observations of writing difficulties in low light, Becky developed the Glo-Sheet, a writing tablet that illuminated when written on. It used a phosphorescent material to achieve this effect.

Becky Schroeder, with the assistance of her family, filed for a US patent for her Glo-Sheet invention. This marked a crucial step in protecting her intellectual property.

At the age of 12, Becky Schroeder was granted US Patent 3812623A for her Glo-Sheet. This achievement made her one of the youngest females to receive a US patent.

Following the patent grant, the Glo-Sheet received attention in news articles and local media. Becky's accomplishment as a young inventor was highlighted, sparking interest in her invention's potential applications.
